MMs and possible actions in the following areas: 1) racial equality and
justice, 2) immigrant justice 3) welcoming and supporting people
in the GLBTQ community and 4) anti-casino work.. Watch this space for
notes from our groups.
The Consultation on Immigration
In Spring 2007, Salem Quarter held a consultation on how our country and our state and cities and towns are responding to immigrants. At Quarterly Meeting in Framingham, we decided to forward the report of the consultation to the meetings of the Quarter. The following minute was approved:
FROM the Minutes of the Salem Quarter Meeting of Fourth Month 22nd Day, 2007
2) The Immigration Consultation working group read its report. The Quarterly Meeting Clerk was requested to send the report, in the name of the Quarter, to all of the Quarter's monthly meetings. The monthly meetings are requested to provide written reply to the Quarter describing what the monthly meeting is doing, or wants to be doing about the concerns raised in the report.Meeting approved the Clerk sending the letter along with background material to the monthly meetings. The Clerk will request that meetings respond to the Quarter by March 1, 2008.
